Emperor and Empress appeared at the Sec
ond window of the ground hoor. President
Muenck, of the Students Committee, rode
up to the window. Their Msjesties, with
the Grand Duchess of Baden, rose and
bowed. Muenck called for cheers for the
! Emperor, for the victorious commander
in glorious battles, for the beloved father
of his country, for the author of the union
of the German races, for the defender of the
frontiers of the Empire, for the guardian
of the peace of the world. The applause
was tremendous and was followed by the
| singing of the national anthem, the
Emperor remaining standing and bowing
with, evident qualification. The procession
then marched past the palace. The whole
scene was most brilliant.
The Prince of Wales paid his first visit
to Their Majesties to-day. The Chinese
Envoy has informed Emperor William
that the birthday presents from the Em-
peror of China were dispatched too late
and have not yet arrived. The Sultan of
The King of Portugal sent beautiful

imperial palace to watch the evenings
events. at nightfall all the streets and
{ squares in the vicinity of the palace were
packed with spectators standing twenty
rows deep on each side who had been

banqueting guests.
Through the palace windows were OBJ
tanned views of splendid scene within.

the scene changed and deep rose colored
light thown out from the gardens and
flooded the whole building. Presently
the procession was seen approaching in
perfect silence. The students marched
five abreast. They were attired in pic

one hand and a torch in the other. In
the line we're the banners of old
German towns. Two students dressed
in the uniform of Won Wallenstein's

Others on horseback, followed by the
Zethen Hussars with powdered periwigs
and white corded coats and cooked hats
surmounted with white aigrettes, the band

This was repeated several times with in
creased effect, the torches cfrcling and
crossing like an ancient war dance, to the
sounds of soft old world music, now ap-
preaching and now fading away in the
distance. While the procession OF
students was passing the palace the
